Why it matters

For patients with prediabetes and hepatic steatosis, the macronutrient composition of a weight-loss diet may influence hepatic metabolic improvements beyond weight loss alone. A very-low-carbohydrate approach could offer greater hepatic and glycemic benefits, informing personalized dietary recommendations for cardiometabolic risk reduction.
